From the first track I was worried. Uh oh, guys--what are you doing? Yes, the first disc of a 2-disc compilation is usually lighter in touch. But this starts out very light, very very light--the first track almost has a disco feel. It takes a long time to get going. And then I heard Solarity's "Terminal 6."
What a track. I own a remix of it, the Incognet remix, which is almost unrecognizable from the original version. It's the perfect crossover track to get things revved up. And then comes the lovely Dirty Vegas remix.
The thing you need to know about Anjunabeats 7 is that it takes patience, lots of patience. There are no cheap thrills here, just great music. If you watch the DVD, you will see what Above and Beyond is all about--they are all about making great music, and they are obsessed with the perfect chord. It was hard to forgive them for including the low-energy, wimpy Dennis Shepherd remix of Mount Everest, one of the biggest, most grandiose...Read more

if you want the definition of Trance this is it! Pure Ambient Trance! The melodies will carry you away into a dream state as the tracks meld perfectly with each other. I think Tiesto better give the name up for his In search of Sunrise series to Above & Beyond becuase they have the feel for what and where Trance is today right here and now! I love this and the Video that is also included was a great bonus! I have watched all the A&B TV Episodes and think they topped themselves with this one! The only one thing that has nothing to do with this CD is that A&B are long over do for another artist album! Get this NOW!

At the time of writing, I've listened to Anjunabeats 4, 5, 6, 7, and 100 as well as Anjunadeep and this is easily my favorite of the six. The first disc is littered with huge tracks that send chills up your spine, and the second is a wonderfully downtempo mix that makes for very easy listening. Here is my breakdown:
Disc 1 starts with "Pink Houses" which is a light starter piece that is a perfect opener. This gives way to "Milano" which continues the feel of the mix with a great bassline and a wonderful swirling melody. The next track "To The Six" blends amazingly well and is a very downtempo track that is a perfect fit for this section. "Pacific" is the next track up, and signifies a low point in the mix for me. It feels out of place from the rest of the mix, but don't worry "Terminal 6" is up next. This track is a huge turning point on the album, and is a massive peak for the album. This flows into "Tonight" and slows the mix down a bit, but has a very nice melody...Read more
